]]>When it comes to breakfast, I have to admit that I am really more of a pancakes kind of person. Don’t get me wrong, I like waffles but you just can’t beat some good cheesecake pancakes or some pumpkin pancakes. However, for the waffle loving Star Wars fans, perhaps you would enjoy breakfast a lot more with one of these delicious looking Darth Maul waffles!

The official Star Wars site posted these delicious looking Darth Maul waffles or Darth Maul-ffles if you will and even posted the recipe and some making of pictures for those who might be interested in making making some Darth Maul waffles for themselves! Of course you will have to buy the Star Wars lightsaber flatware set to complete the Star Wars breakfast experience but if you hurry, they are 80% off right now! That means you can get an awesome Star Wars lightsaber flatware set for $2.99 instead of the normal $14.99! I’m not sure how long that sale will last so hopefully you see this post before its gone but if not, $15 still seems quite reasonable for this set of Star Wars flatware.

Perhaps this is just a little more work for having a Star Wars breakfast than if you just used a Death Star waffle maker, but I think it is definitely worth it although Death Star waffles are pretty awesome.

And now I am really hungry for breakfast.

I am curious, do you make any sort of fun creations like this with your breakfast? Let me know in the comments below and if you have any special recipes for your geeky breakfasts, feel free to share them too! And pictures are always welcome!

]]>Its not that often I have the time to have a real breakfast but when I do, one of my favorite breakfast foods is pancakes. Especially New York Cheesecake pancakes or pumpkin pancakes. But enough about my pancake preferences because thats not what this post is about. This post is about some amazing Pokemon pancakes I stumbled across this morning. And for the foodies out there, this is apparently a vegan pancake as well!

Pancake artist and Japanese chef Keisuke Inagaki is the man with the spatula that creates these incredible Pokemon pancakes which you can see in the video below. He is the chef at La Ricetta in Zama City, Japan and after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, he decided to start creating these incredible Pokemon pancakes in the shape of people’s favorite Pokemon.

To say that the Pokemon Pancakes in the video below look incredible is an understatement but I am also impressed with just how many different Pokemon he can recreate so accurately. He makes Pikachu pancakes, Bulbasaur pancakes, Charmander pancakes, Squirtle panckaes, Eevee pancakes, Meowth pancakes, JigglyPuff pancakes and more! Forget trying to catch all the Pokemon, I would rather eat them all!

Gotta Cook ‘Em All!

I’ve featured many geeky pancakes on Global Geek News in the past but if you have pictures or video of some geeky pancakes that you have made, let me know in the comments below! I would love to see them and perhaps even post about your delicious creations!

Now if you will excuse me, I think I hear the pancakes at IHOP calling my name. One of these days I will learn not to write food related posts close to lunch time!

]]>For most students, school probably just got out for the summer and the last thing they want on their mind is going back to school much less buying school supplies but its never too early to get started on picking up those school supplies, especially when they are as cool as this Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild shield backpack.

If you want to be the coolest student in school or if you want your kid to be the coolest kid in school, the best way to accomplish that is with this Breath of the Wild shield backpack, especially since everybody is crazed over the game right now.

Thanks to the awesome geeks over at ThinkGeek, this awesome Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild shield backpack can be yours (or your kids) for just $59.99. Ok, I honestly feel like that is a bit much for a backpack (although I really have no idea since I haven’t bought one in years) but considering how cool this is, I would say it is totally worth the price. It looks like it has plenty of room to keep your pens, a calculator or phone, some paper and it even has a pocket for carrying your laptop or tablet which is probably about as much as you really need anyway.

So if you or your kid loves the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and needs a new backpack, look no further!

If you don’t mind not being the only cool kid in school, make sure to share this with all of your Zelda loving friends! Or at least share it with the ones that don’t go to the same school. And make sure to like GGN on Facebook and follow GGN on Twitter so you never miss cool stuff like this that we post.

]]>One of these days, if I ever get the money, I would love to finish my basement and turn it into gaming space filled with all my gaming consoles, perhaps some arcade cabinets and amazing gaming related art work like this beautiful Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild oil canvas. Of course I might need to hit the lottery first to make my dreams come true but if I ever do, you can bet that is exactly what I hope to do with my basement!

Speaking of decorating the walls of your gaming area or perhaps just your bedroom, the amazing people over at ThinkGeek are selling this beautiful Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild oil canvas for $249.99. This beautiful work of art measures 30″ x 60″ and would look amazing on the walls of any Zelda fan’s home!

There are a couple of caveats to be aware of in that there is a limit of 2 when ordering one of these amazing Breath of the Wild oil canvases and due to its size, it only ships to the lower 48 states. But if those aren’t an issue for you, then you should be good to go!

This Breath of the Wild oil canvas is a limited edition of 600 (numbered in the corner) so if you want one, you better jump on this before they are all gone! Oh, and if you are one who cares about such things, this is an officially licensed product.

If you are a big fan of Nintendo’s incredible Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game or know someone who is that you happen to be looking for a gift for, then look no further than this incredible decoration!

]]>Back in the day, I wasn’t a half bad Chess player. I was by no means great and I haven’t met a chess program whose AI can’t kick my butt, but at least when playing humans, I wasn’t half bad. Sadly, I haven’t played Chess in years now however if I had this amazing Legend of Zelda collectors Chess set, I might just start playing again.

The awesome folks over at ThinkGeek are selling this beautiful Legend of Zelda collectors Chess set for just $74.99. The board measures 16.5″ x 10.5″ and the pieces range in size from 1.5″ to 2.5″. And many of your favorite characters from the series are represented as pieces on this chess set including Link (King), Zelda (Queen), Epona (Knights), Ganon (King), Navi (Pawns) among others.

If you are a fan of the Legend of Zelda games like I am and also enjoy the occasional game of chess, I suspect this might just be the chess board you have been dreaming about!

Since I like/follow a bunch of Legends of Zelda related social media accounts, I see people post their impressive Zelda game collections all the time and I think this Legend of Zelda collectors Chess set would be the perfect addition to anybody who happens to take pride in their Legend of Zelda game collection.

]]>Its been a long time since I have posted a gaming console cake so when I came across this PlayStation cake, I figured I should share it, especially considering the occasion that the cake was created for!

For those that might not know, Sony has an incredible blog dedicated to its PlayStation gaming platform and a few days ago the blog turned 10 years old! As part of the celebration, they had a PlayStation themed cake baked to celebrate the 10th birthday of PlayStation.Blog.

There is no mention of who they had bake this incredible cake whether it was a local bakery or it was just made by one of their employees but whoever made it, they did a pretty incredible job and did a great job of capturing the feel of the original PlayStation console.

Congrats to the folks over at Sony for 10 years of PlayStation.Blog! For those that don’t know, the blog is a great resource for finding out about upcoming games, which games are going to be free for the month as part of the PlayStation Plus subscriptions, game sales and more! If you own a PlayStation system you should be checking it out regularly!

And if this has wet your appetite for console related cakes, you might enjoy checking out some of the console related cakes I have posted in the past like this Xbox 360 cake, this SNES cake and this NES cake. As I recall, this is the first PlayStation cake I have had the privilege of posting and I hope its not the last!

]]>In the past I have posted a lot of really cool gaming console mods but controller mods are harder to come by. Of course a lot of those console mods I have featured in the past (which you can see if you just search for ‘console mods’ in the search box on the right) have had a custom painted controller to match the console, but I can’t recall having posted any controllers that have been modded to the extent of this Fallout 4 inspired Playstation controller mod.

This beautiful Fallout themed Playstation controller mod was created by Devin Smith of End of Line Designs and it basically takes a normal Playstation 4 DualShock controller and gives it a Fallout Pip-Boy look to it. I’d say the results turned out pretty great and I can’t even say I’m the biggest of Fallout fans. Don’t get me wrong, what I have played of them I have enjoyed, but I never have played any of the Fallout games all the way through although I know I really should at some point because they are great games.

I highly suggest checking out the link above to see some of Devin’s other works because he makes some really incredible controller mods! He has a few Star Wars inspired Xbox controllers that I especially love.

If you or anybody you know has modded their gaming controller, feel free to show off the mod in the comments below! I love seeing how people like to customize their gaming experience.

]]>I suspect I have mentioned it in the past here on Global Geek News (I’m too lazy to try to search the thousands of posts just to find out) that my all time favorite series of video games is the God of War series. Between the satisfying, bloody game play and the incredibly engaging stories, its not hard to imagine why I enjoy the games so much. Well, speaking of the incredible games, I have come across an absolutely mind blowing God of War cake that I just had to share with all of the GGN readers.

This incredible God of War cake features Kratos standing on the severed head of of the Greek god Zeus. The level of detail and the beautiful coloring on Kratos is truly staggering!

As for who created this God of War cake that is truly worthy of the gods, it was created by Ade Cal of Delicut Cakes. This beautiful cake was created for Cake Con Collaboration which is a collaboration of artists that make sugary greatness inspired by TV shows, comics and video game characters. Judging by this cake, I would love to see the other things created for the collaboration!

Whether you just love beautifully detailed cakes or you are a big fan of the Ghost of Sparta, you can’t deny that this is one amazing cake that even the God of War would love! However Zeus might not be too big of a fan with Kratos standing on his head but you can’t please everybody.

If you have made an amazing God of War cake like this one or any sort of delicious geeky cake, let me know about it in the comments below!

]]>Just when I thought I had heard of everything, I recently discovered that there was such a thing as gun powder art. From what I can tell, you basically create your work of art out of gun powder, light it and then the image is burned into the canvas. It is a pretty cool effect with a great result! And to show you just how cool this gun powder art thing is, I stumbled across this gifv of some Two-Face gun powder art that is sure to blow you away!

This incredible work of Two-Face gun powder art was apparently created by Instagram user Dino Tomic. As you can see in this Two-Face gun powder art gif, it looks like half of it starts as Batman and half of it as Two-Face. The Two-Face half gets lit on fire and buns into the canvas while the Batman half remains un-phased (I’m not sure what that part was but apparently not gun powder). After the fire goes out and the canvas is tilted up, the Batman part falls away to reveal the normal, non-scared part of Two-Face from the Dark Knight movie.

This is quite an impressive work of art and something that I would certainly love to hang on my bedroom wall!

Now that I know about gun powder art, if I find any more geeky gun powder art, I will be sure to share it! And if you have any that you have created, feel free to send it to me with the contact link at the top of the page so I can see it and perhaps blog about it!

]]>For a long time now I have been searching for a new desk for my bedroom but haven’t been able to find the exact design I’m looking for. At this point, I am thinking I am going to have to custom design and build the desk I want so that it fits my needs and while this amazing TMNT sewer desk doesn’t fit my needs, its still the coolest looking desk I have ever seen!

This amazing TMNT sewer desk which is sure to delight any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan was created by Tom Spina Designs for a client. With all of the amazing details from the coloring to the TGRI ooze to Splinter and the Turtles, this is one incredible looking desk! It doesn’t look like its got all of your normal handy desk features like drawers but it might be worth the sacrifice to have a desk this cool!

Here is an except about this beautiful TMNT sewer desk and of course you can find several more pictures of this incredible Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sewer desk below.

Lead artist on this project Rich Riley began by creating the frame work for the desk out of wood and construction tubing. He then added a faux stone texture to the the desk to make it look like real concrete. Additional details were added, like faux bricks, valves and spouts. The pipe, tubing, and knobs were given a faux rusty metal treatment to create the underground sewer landscape.

Every inch of the desk is covered in a unique paint treatment, or some sort of homage to the turtles. From the faux radioactive slime to the faux brick, to the turtles and even master Splinter, every angle of this desk is a dynamic piece of art perfect for our Ninja Turtles fan.

Have you ever built a really cool desk? Let me know in the comments below what the experience was like (I want to know what I am in for) and feel free to share some pictures, especially if its a geeky build like this!
